I recently watched "Requiem for the American Dream" (the documentary is included with Prime Video, and there is also a book of the same name) [0]. One of the points that Noam Chomsky made near the end was about undermining solidarity (I don't remember the exact phrase, but it had solidarity its name). I found the why in which Chomsky portrayed the accomplishments of unions and how the political elite dealt with unions afterwards (e.g. McCarthyism) both enlightening and depressing. Workers regardless of profession were all united towards better conditions for all. The gradual exaltation of selfishness and self-interest has become a silent but effective tool in pitting people against each other. I highly encourage others here to watch it should they have 72 minutes to spare. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWD8Wksx_zI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWD8Wksx_zI
